So everyone sat down to a warm meal cooked by the new Bar Tender *cries* Slayer with the help of never-around NightFire. It was delicious, a steak and rhuebarb pie , with turnip dumplings and boiled brussel sprouts for dessert. After that, they sat all around the fire telling ghost stories and scaring the little ones to bed. Everything was right again, or almost, and as the Taverners got sleepy, no one noticed that Kovu started to wheeze. And cough. And turn purple. Finally, Ducky got sleepy and turned to give Kovu a hug before she went to bed. As he keeled over (and\or fell over), he breathed his last words, "It was the Brussel Sprouts!"



Or something.



Well everyone was quite disturbed by this. I mean heck, just cause all Kovey every said was "Hmmmmm" doesn't mean they wanted him dead. He was an all around nice guy.

"They should have killed Velkasha!" Ducky sobbed on her husband's body.

"Can I have his boots now?" Lancie asked politely when the tears had subsided.
